Bands Of A Small Hurricane

JULY 1967. DANIELLA QUINN has lived all of her 14 years in the Florida Keys, and is beginning high school with an eye toward budding adulthood and newfound popularity. She even has a sweetheart-a boy vacationing with his family. Summer of Love, indeed. Though well-sheltered by her manic-depressive mother and adoring (if occasionally drunk) father, Danni finds herself drawn to a mysterious new girl at school, whose individuality and intrigue offer a glimpse at the larger world beyond the islands. And when Danni forms a relationship with a group of nudists living on a secret beach, she begins to question everything she's ever been taught about family, honesty, beauty, sex. Even the very definition of home. Richard Quinn is a God of the sea, if only in his mind. But life has a way of growing tedious for even the boldest of men. So when a stranger arrives in the Florida Keys with a plan to rescue her brother from behind The Iron Curtain, Richard seizes the opportunity to reclaim his fading heroism, consequences be damned. As a daring project unfolds in secret, Danni begins to question the integrity of the father she's always worshipped. Love becomes shame. Trust turns to doubt. And Danni may soon be forced to save herself when her illusion of sanctuary is unceremoniously obliterated. Experiencing the challenges of teenage romance, a new society burgeoning with free love and recreational drugs, an escalating mistrust of her family, and a longing to run away with a community of hippies, Bands Of A Small Hurricane follows one girl's sexual revolution and discovery of self amid the mangrove-tangled waters of Florida's southern edge.
